Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for an efficient hardware architecture to implement gradient boosted trees for detecting biological conditions. For example, a method of detecting a biological condition includes receiving, by a device, a plurality of physiological signals from a plurality of input channels of the device, selecting, based on a trained prediction model, one or more input channels from the plurality of input channels, converting the one or more physiological signals received from the one or more input channels to one or more digital physiological signals, identifying, by using the plurality of gradient boosted decision trees, the selected characteristic in the one or more digital physiological signals, and determining a presence of a physiological condition based on an addition of the output values obtained from the plurality of gradient boosted decision trees.

METHOD AND SOFTWARE FOR ASSESSING NEURODEVELOPMENTAL ABNORMALITIES
20200388400 · 2020-12-10 ·

Neurological abnormalities are often discovered through observation by health care providers, and/or parent report. Many neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD are purely identified through behavioral analysis, and cannot be screened for using a biomarker or quantitative stimulus-response test. Current screening tools contain subjective components based on parent report and clinician observation, vary in consistency of use across providers, and demands resources, knowledge, and access to skilled expertise. As a result, the only tests used today require lengthy and subjective behavioral analysis and often, miss or misidentify neurodevelopmental disorders contributing to a delayed diagnosis. The technology disclosed herein allow for a solution to this systemic problem.

PRESENTING INFORMATION ON OBJECT TO BE OBSERVED
20200387707 · 2020-12-10 ·

In an approach for presenting information on an object to be observed, a processor obtains information from a sensor about an object. A processor predicts a time period in which the object is expected to be at a location and in a state, based on historical data, obtained from the sensor, associated with the object. A processor determines whether the object is at the location and in the state within the time period. A processor presents information to a user, wherein the information is about the object.
